Anglo-Saxon

记忆“Anglo-Saxon”可以通过以下简单方法：

将“Anglo-Saxon”分解为两部分：“Anglo”和“Saxon”。
- “Anglo”可以联想到“Anglophone”，即说英语的地区，简单来说就是“英国”或“英格兰”的意思。
- “Saxon”则可以联想到“Saxon times”，指的是撒克逊人的时代，撒克逊人是一支早期在中世纪英格兰定居的日耳曼民族。

将这两个部分结合起来，想象英格兰地区的历史上有一种古老的日耳曼语言，这就是“Anglo-Saxon”。这样可以帮助你记忆这个表示“盎格鲁-撒克逊”的复合词。

Anglo-Saxon

Old English Angli Saxones (plural), from Latin Anglo-Saxones, in which Anglo- is an adjective, thus literally "English Saxons," as opposed to those of the Continent (now called "Old Saxons"). Properly in reference to the Saxons of ancient Wessex, Essex, Middlesex, and Sussex.

I am a suthern man, I can not geste 'rum, ram, ruf' by letter. [Chaucer, "Parson's Prologue and Tale"]

After the Norman-French invasion of 1066, the peoples of the island were distinguished as English and French, but after a few generations all were English, and Latin-speaking scribes, who knew and cared little about Germanic history, began to use Anglo-Saxones to refer to the pre-1066 inhabitants and their descendants. When interest in Old English writing revived c. 1586, the word was extended to the language we now call Old English. It has been used rhetorically for "English" in an ethnological sense from 1832, and revisioned as Angle + Saxon.
